What side(s) will always be the longest on a right triangle?

• The Hypotenuse

• Leg A

• Leg B

• The Right Angle

What is the relationship between the sides in the Pythagorean Theorem shown?

Hint: Think about when the hypotenuse is missing!

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² – b² = c²

• a – b = c

Isabella has sticks that are 10cm, 11cm, and 13cm long.  Can she place the sticks together to form a right triangle?  Justify your answer.

• No, because 10+11 does not equal 13
• No, because 100+121 does not equal 169
• Yes, because there is a small side, medium side and long side
• Yes, because a triangle has 3 sides

solve for c
